Our council tried to force us to sell our £200,000 home to make room for asylum seekers

EXCLUSIVE: Our council tried to force us to sell our £200,000 home to make room for asylum seekers: Elderly couple's horror after strongly-worded letter lands on their doorstep
Daily Mail UK LINK
quote:
An elderly couple who had just moved into their £200,000 house were horrified to receive a letter from their council suggesting the property could be subject to compulsory purchase and used to house asylum seekers.
Jose and Ted Saunders said they were 'insulted and shocked' when the strongly-worded letter from North Northamptonshire Council – which has never balanced its own books - dropped on their mat last month.
quote:
It said their neat mid-terraced house in Rushden, near Wellingborough, was deemed to be an empty property, or was 'derelict' and the council could even force them to sell it.
'I couldn't believe it,' said retired carer Jose, 76. 'We moved to Rushden to help provide childcare for my grand-daughter and found this nice little place to live.
'The idea of forcing us to sell it to make room for refugees and asylum seekers seems totally wrong.'
The things that we are told are not happening keep happening.

England is so weird with their "councils" they have for everything.

How do they know their house weighs 200,000 pounds? That's 14,286 stones.

They deserve the government they elected.

The UK has proven to not be worth the blood and treasure of WWII. Never again.

i don't wish ill on anybody individually, but like the women in NYC getting punched... you voted in soft on crime DAs and you got soft on crime DAs.
You vote in people that care more about immigrants then their tax base, and you're going to get a government that values immigrants over white tax payers.

It's a little known fact that they have to weigh their houses in the UK.

I agree with this except for the "don't wish ill on anybody" part
I wish the worst ills on those that support the current BS, if I had my way, everytime someone was hurt or killed as a result of Leftists Policies it would be people that didn't fight against it
I actually like stories like this:
Ryan Carson "murder" story

Probably taxed per pound.

IF this direction continues (it's heading to America), what happens when the middle class taxes are exhausted?? Eventually, it will run out.... The government can only take a finite amount of money from the middle class. I can tell you what will happen, revolt.

Why does the council believe the property is un-used?
This kind of stuff happens pretty much everywhere. The few city council meetings I've had to attend are mostly people betting the council for an extension or waiver to avoid a property being torn down.

This kind of stuff happens pretty much everywhere.
